I promised my users I wouldn't look at the log unless porn or spam was posted...

still thowing off the text fields :(

side note. how do you get the tags field at the top of the reply to thread screen as seen in the screen shoots of the mod?

Please do this for the lastest vb4.0 version! :D I would love this for my forum.

Does this work for vb4.1?

Votes for Zoints to :

1 - Bring this mod back and enhance for vB4.x series...

-or-

2 - Release copyright for vB4.x + to someone capable of revising and supporting this mod at vB.org

Vote and be heard !! I miss this mod !!

I second the vote!!
UPDATE THIS PLEASE!!!

did anyone can give permission to rewrite this mod ? i have vb-4.X version

I desperately need this... is there anything similar out there?

Not that I know of. Only this one which works for vb3.8

You do realise that Zoints hasn't been active on this site since '09 right? Your petition, whilst well meaning, will do nothing.

The only way this can be released is if Zoints logs on (for the first time in 2 years) or someone else codes the mod from scratch using unique code.

Funnily enough, I don't really see either of these two solutions happening anytime soon!

Works great on vb3.8.6

Something strange has happened the Options to select which forum this mod works in no longer saves the selected forums, always defaults back to 'None'.

When uninstalling it, the forum looses its background and it goes all white.

EDIT: Conflicting Mod https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...wpost&t=199207

Oooooorrrrr... the mod could be updated by someone NEW, who then credits the mod as being written by Zoints - upgraded to v.4.xx by <MODDERS NAME HERE>.

This way Zoints retains their 'ownership' (for whatever THAT'S worth after all this time) and the upgraded version is then able to be used by those of us DESPERATE for it!

If Zoints care enough to get annoyed - personally I'll be highly surprised. More likely they'll shrug and continue to ignore it. If not, they can ask for it to be handed BACK to them fully, at which point we can all then throw rubbish at them and point out their dubious ancestory.

No it does not work like that. Another coder can't release updated code as a new mod without the author's prior permission regardless of whether they say it was originally created by Zoints or not. The only time a coder can do that is if the original mod was marked as "Re-usable Code" which this mod is not.

Without Zoints permission the only other option is to code new from scratch or if someone wanted to post instructions in this thread for the steps they personally took to upgrade it to 4.x they could share that.

I was going to rewrite this from scratch so I could add some usergroup permissions to it but can't find a way to make it work without doing pretty much the same thing. The original code is sound though, just need to make one change to get it to work on vB4

I wanted it to display in the additional options box though so instead of editing the newpost_usernamecode template I edited
newpost_disablesmiliesoption
After
I added
That's it, should see a checkbox to post anonymously in the additional options of the editor under the option to disable smilies. The rest of the code worked fine for me on 4.0.8 and 4.1.1

Dylan

I actually tested it by placing it in the former area, didn't get the checkbox. So, this seems to be the only way it is working. However, it is nice and clean and works definitely in 4.1.2.

I will definitely be installing this on my upgrade after all testing on the test site is complete.

I didn't get the check box either, how do I get it working?
Thanks!

Anyone?

I followed the instructions above for 4.0.8 and it works fine for me, but you have to go to "Advanced" to post a reply, it isn't an option in the quick-reply.

I'm not getting it anywhere :(
In the settings should the forums I select stay highlighted? Mine aren't I wonder if that is the problem?
Thanks for replying!

Yes, they should stay highlighted. If they're not that's probably the problem.

You could override the forums setting in options be editing two plugins...

In plugin Manager edit these two plugins:
Enable Anonymous Posting (Posts)
Enable Anonymous Posting (Threads)

Change this line in each from:
to:
where 2, 3, 4, 5 are the forumids of the forums you want to enable anonymous posting in, use as many or as few as you want.

I don't know why the forums wouldn't stay selected though, may be the sign of a bigger problem. Does being enabled Yes/No stick to Yes at least? If not this won't help.

I tried selecting no and it worked and I tried selecting just one forum and that worked so its the fact I'm selecting more than one.
I'm using Ctrl when I select the forums, should I use something else? If that is the problem then I'll try your suggestion - thanks for that, much appreciated!

Ahhh ok ignore that I kept selecting and they finally all worked. Strange that!

Did anyone get this to work with 4.1.4 with the new editor?

Does it not work with the 4.1.4 new editor?

Not for me, no

EDIT: Got it to work again. It was a conflict with one of my own mods :)

Blog and Groups ???

I am trying to install this to 3.8 and getting a DB error when I try to install the plugin. Any ideas on why that would be?

It would help if you could post a copy of the db error.

Not working for vBulletin 4.1.8, i become Database error by .xml import:(

works great for me on 4.1.8. what error are you getting?

Hello,
i installed it on my vb 3.6 but i cant upload attachment with the anonymouse account.
How can i fix it?

Thanks

It's not compatible with attachments.

Thats not true.
If i go anonymouse i can upload pics after using the preview.
I think the plugin needs a auto refresh after choosing anonymous to switch in the right account.

Sorry for my terrible english.

This has been a known issue since 2009:
http://network.zoints.com/showthread.php?t=3959

It hasn't been resolved. I don't expect it will ever be resolved knowing how the VB attachment system works (to a point) it is not easy to give another user permission to upload attachments which is basically what would need to happen here.

It could be possible to overwrite the user id?s at the attachments at posting anonymouse or not?

I don't understand your suggestion. For attachments to show right the attachments must be in the post of the user who attached it- faking who attached files isn't easy and why I believe this has never been fixed.

I got the same problem. Its an issue with sql script and a deprecated supported keyword used the create the table I believe. Open the XML file and change on line 24 from:

TYPE=MyISAM

and replace with:

ENGINE=MyISAM


Then try the import again. Worked for me in Vbulletin 4.1.12 after the change.

Thank you, BirdOPrey5 and mboyce84 - I was able to get this running again on 4.1.12 as well. :)
